Jerusalem City Guide
Jerusalem is a divine city to the world’s three main religions- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is the modern capital of Israel and the country’s largest city.
About 3000 years ago, Jerusalem was established by King David. It is an enthralling city of many contrasts and diversities. It is a city where old and new, holy and secular, pure nature and beautiful structural design mix into magical synchronization of smells, with many exclusive hotels and apartments.
Jerusalem is a charismatic city, whose visitors are inspired by the immaculate glow of its religious shrines, pleasing scenery and outstanding golden limestone.
Jerusalem is one of the most amazing cities in the world. It presents a unique combination of ancient history, spiritual holiness and multi-colored cultures. Only a few cities motivate as much as Jerusalem.
Top attractions of Jerusalem:
The Western Wall , Mahane Yehuda Market, The Dome Of the Rock ,Al-Aqsa Mosque, The Church of the Holy Sepulchure and many more are there for you to discover.
The famous symbol and the holiest Jewish site in the world is The Western Wall- Jerusalem’s old city. It is a remainder of the retaining wall. It was built by Herod the great in the 1st century BC, to cover the second temple enclosed space.
It is a Jewish belief that the Holy Presence has never left the Western Wall, thus it became the most significant site of Jewish pilgrimage, where Jews came to mourn the ruin of the Temple. This is how the Wall has gained the name – the “Wailing Wall”.
The Western Wall serves as a favorite location for Jewish traditional celebrations, and gets wonderfully alive on Friday eve and on Jewish holidays.
The Western Wall is open 24 hours, and requires a modest dress for women and a head cover for the men.
The zoo is built on two main levels. A powered train takes visitors on a circular route from the lower level to the upper level. The entire park is wheelchair-accessible; each train can also contain one wheelchair.
At the western end of the park stands a two-story, boat-shaped wooden visitor’s center meant to resemble Noah’s Ark. It contains an auditorium, an art gallery, a gift shop, a snack bar, and computer stations providing information on animals mentioned in the Bible.
The centerpiece of the lower level is an artificial lake which includes two islands of monkey exhibits. The lake is fed by a series of pools and waterfalls, beginning at an artificial waterfall called “Moses’ Rock”. Water is recycled and pumped back to Moses’ Rock through an underground system.

- Israel Ministry of Finance, Museum of Taxes
